The Greatness of God, Part 2 - Psalm 145:1-13
I will extol thee, my God...
1 (David's Psalm of praise.) I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
To know and to do
Are a strange set of two
And the one will play upon the other
For to do and not know
Is a lucky sort of show
And we smirk on it one with another
Now to know and to do
Grants good purpose its due
And skill assures all those who love her
Yet to know and not do
Is the wresting of the two
And it comes with its own sort of tether
So to do and to know
With the good all in tow
Is a charity shared with another
But when we are remiss
Our lack will consist
In knowing but doing no other
